I tried walking in but the doorway was blocked by employees and people waiting to be seated but nobody seated . HARD PASS.

I just finished my meal and I’m still at the restaurant. I could not wait to RAVE about the food here. I had to restrain myself from standing up in our booth and giving the kitchen a standing ovation.
I love diners, even though the food is usually pretty mid. As such, I went into this place for the first time with no expectations. We went at breakfast time on a random Thursday. We ordered steak & eggs, bacon omelette, pancakes, sausage, hash browns, and cheese grits. Our sweet server returned with our food in a very speedy 10 mins. (!)
I am VERY picky about Southern food. All my Maw-Maws, rest their souls, were native Southerners and legendary cooks. As such, I usually regard Southern food at restaurants with an air of skepticism. I have very high expectations. Everything has to be correct. I am delighted to report that absolutely everything we ate was PROPER. The cooking techniques were indicative of a master(s) at the grill. Sausage patties were slightly crispy on the outside, not too much, just right. The bacon omelette was fluffy, and filled with perfectly crispy and very nicely-flavored bacon. The steak was seasoned well but not too much, and cooked to perfect medium rare. The eggs over medium, which are difficult to master and require perfect timing, had perfectly runny yolks and firm whites. The pancakes were fluffy and had chewy outsides, but not too chewy. The cheese grits, ahhhh the cheese grits. They were perfectly seasoned, perfectly cheesy, not runny or soupy, not too dry, not mushy, and not undercooked. Like everything else, they were just right.
I saved the best for last: The star of the meal was the “hash browns,” which were basically Southern fried potatoes. At first bite, I made an embarrassing groan, and nearly wept. They were perfectly done inside, perfectly crispy outside, seasoned well, fried in good oil, but not too oily. My mom, who learned to cook from my Maw-Maws, used to make them like that. They are very difficult to get right, and restaurants never ever get them right, if they are even offered at all. But the wizard(s) at the West Street Diner nailed em!
I was dazzled. I was impressed. Much respect. This diner can COOK, y’all. If you miss Old South cooking like I do, go here and get a grub on!

Always great service. Food is cooked to order, comes out hot and fast. During lunch and dinner times it gets busy and hard to find parking and a table to eat at. Great breakfast place in Germantown. There aren't any other diners left in the Memphis area.
A great, warm home-like atmosphere owner came over and introduced himself. First time going there.
